Students head to the polls at RDC
Students at Red Deer College go to the polls this week for the annual Students’ Association election.
Brittany Lausen, outgoing President, says students should know that their collective voice does have power, and that they should pay attention to what elected officials – even at a school level — are doing.
“The Students’ Association is student-owned and student-run. We are the official legislated advocates for the students of Red Deer College to the institution, but also to municipal, provincial, and even federal governments,” Lausen explains. “Students absolutely should care and be informed in who they are electing to represent them because that can have an impact on their time as a student.”
Recent advocacy to government has largely surrounded the matter of RDC’s ability to grant degrees. Lausen says a lack of degrees could cause students to be displaced.
